Buying from a relative

My son wants to buy my bungalow but the bank have a policy where they won't give a 95 % mortgage. Are there any lenders that don't have this policy and will treat my son the same as anyone else

    Are you selling at market value or at a discount?

    Where are you going to live?

    What is the source of the deposit?

    Does your son own any other property? If yes, what is happening to it and where does he plan to live?

    Your son probably isn't being treated any differently. Simply doesn't meet the required criteria.
